A Natural, Bohemian Luxe Cornish Coastal Elopement

I’m sharing with you today a Cornish elopement, a breath taking, natural, wild and authentic coastline inspired shoot. It’s filled with beautiful imagery, stunning landscapes, delicate florals, a stunning dress and pale blue detailing. There is something so magical about the setting of the Cornish coastline, the light, even on stormy days is incredible.

These gorgeous photographs are from Irina and Chris who are amazing wedding photographers from Germany who love to travel. They love to photograph, in Irina’s own words, ‘couples crazily in love’. So I just knew I was going to adore their work!

With this evocative bohemian luxe elopement they have captured the light, the love, the connection between the couple and created some truly gorgeous images.

Lovely Irina explains about the inspiration behind the images;

When we planned backpacking a little bit through Cornwall, I knew that would be the perfect place for an aquamarine, natural, bohemian intimate wedding elopement. A coastline inspired wild and back to the roots elopement, that was our vision.

We just love natural coastlines and I particularly love that aquamarine water colour that you can find in lakes, usually in the mountains (we found them in the Rocky Mountains in Canada). So when we discovered the greenish blue hue at the beach lakes of Cornwall when the tide is in, we really wanted to shoot on location. I collected brass candle holders and soft blue candle sticks in advance, knowing some day I would realise the vision in my head, which I’d had for some time.

It all came to realisation with the fabulous effortless look that the dress and the floral bouquet gave to the scene. The dress is handmade by a German designer we know Light and Lace Couture. It is perfect for the beach; lace and chiffon and a backless design, so alluring and elegant too.

We found florists Becca & Maz from The Garden Gate Flower Company through Instagram. They are true artisans. Their bouquets are pieces of art. They look so effortless as if you picked them yourselves at the fields and still they are so nicely composed. It totally matched the easy breezy flair of our shoot.

Our model couple, Emily and Tom, are a true Cornish couple. They are actually engaged and so, though it is a styled collaborative shoot, it has some true story in it: True love of two people who appreciate each other and embrace their life by the Cornish coast.
